Lover 'knew James was married to Bullock'

The woman who had an affair with Sandra Bullock's husband knew that he was married to the actress, according to reports.

A former boss of tattoo model Michelle McGee, who has previously claimed that she thought Jesse James was no longer with Bullock during their alleged 11-month fling, said that McGee knew that he was still with her.

Dani Madrano told Us Magazine that when she first heard about McGee meeting James at a strip club, she told her employee, "Wait, a minute - isn't he married to Sandra?", to which McGee reportedly responded: "Oh, well. That's just a sham for publicity."

Madrano added: "I can't get inside of Michelle’s head. I do think that she really likes him, knowing what I know about Jesse and knowing Michelle personally.

"If Sandra was out of the equation completely - or, I should say, never in the equation - I think that Jesse and Michelle [would be] good together. They just seemed to fit, based on personality and looks.

"But I don't know Sandra, and I'm not saying anything bad about her because I know she is 'America's Sweetheart' and she is awesome."
